Despite the constant stream of drama-filled news about the latest security exploits, many businesses lag behind in making investments in patch management. Whether the mindset is “Windows updates itself” or “we’ll deal with problems as they occur” – many have yet to invest in a regular patch management program. Explaining patch management is not only necessary but is in fact vital to business productivity and continuity. Join N-able’s Scott Parker for some great data and hard numbers on patch management and some tips on how to get your customers on a regular patch management program. They will cover: • How to position patch management (and deal with common objections) • Where are the missing patches? • What are the consequences of unpatched systems?
